Cats give us so much by just simply being a part of our lives. And they may even be able to help end human obesity! According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one third of adults in the United States are obese. Sadly, the numbers are even worse when it comes to cats: a staggering 53% of America’s cats are considered overweight or obese.

As cat guardians, it’s up to us to ensure that our cats are at a healthy weight by feeding them a species appropriate grain-free raw or canned diet. We bear the responsibility for our own weight and health ourselves, but it turns out that maybe cats can help us when it comes to keeping fit and staying at a healthy weight!

The video below provides instruction for cats on how to exercise their humans. Enjoy!

I saw this video a few weeks ago. Penelope loves running around and I do not worry about her overeating-Magellan loves his food and is not as active. Sometimes I play chase or have him do laps chasing a string just to get him moving more. Of course both are always willing to jump on the counter for food-yesterday I spoke loudly to him as he was mid air-he missed the counter and slid down the side-I was laughing so hard.
